still waiting...

...*sigh*...

although last night i was thinking "this might be it" for a little while, but of course, nothing came of it. the false labor contractions have been getting a bit stronger, so i guess that's a good sign. if it weren't cold and i didn't have a toddler to worry about, i'd be out walking ALL DAY to get things moving! i have my appointment at 12.55 today, so hopefully there will be some progress. my fingers are tightly crossed; the more days that go by, the more nervous i get, knowing that even though cole was 3 1/2 weeks early, he was almost 8 pounds... but maybe this little girl will be on the petite side and go a little easy on mommy! that, and once christmas break is over, it'll be much more difficult to make arrangements for cole... yikes!!

here's the sling i made (my prototype)... you can't see them here, but inside on the lining is the adjustment system. i've tried it and it holds really well- if it holds a screaming, squirming toddler, that's a good thing, right? my dream is to start my own line of adjustable slings (of course, i can always make fitted ones too), something that i can do at home so i don't have to rely on daycare. i've found several prints (100% cotton fabric) that are cute and trendy, so when i get the time and a little extra cash, i plan to go get a few swatches for samples. maybe eventually i can get a website too ($10 a year through yahoo isn't that bad, really)! in the mean time, if anyone's looking to try a new product idea or wants a sling for themselves or a gift, feel free to let me know... !
